“ I absolutely love this place! Amazing, real, cooked in house food and baked goods. Delicious hot drinks (coffee, lattes, tea and such). Bonus signature cookie included with your lunch sandwich. They have everything, from a wide variety of full service breakfast choices (including waffles, Saturday beignets, eggs, bacon, homefries or amazing selection of fresh fruit (my fruit I chose instead of homefries included super fresh and tasty blueberries, pomegranate seeds, grapes, orange slices, Granny Smith apples chunks, and NO filler melon like some places which made me super happy because I'm not a huge fan of melon) and on the go absolutely delectable breakfast sandwiches (amazing egg, cheddar cheese, tomato and avocado on English muffin) to gourmet lunch sandwiches like the mouthwatering roast beef and boursin on (I think?) in house baked rosemary focaccia bread. Nevermind their chocolate mousse cake (and all their other delicious baked goods) which is absolutely divine! I have used the mousse cake to successfully make a bad day better several times. Brought their holiday cookies to the office work party last year and everyone enjoyed them and the Cafe was even nice enough to plate them on a sweet little platter for me last minute when I swung by morning of having realized I didn't have time to bake my own. My family has also enjoyed their premade take home and heat up lasagna and pot pie dinners. The ladies who work there are great and the place is really cute and has a great and distinct character. Great place to grab stuff and go or sit and relax and enjoy your food. Haven't had a bad experience yet and have been going for years. Definitely a little jewel in Chelmsford! ”
“ Great little place and the food was delicious. I'd definitely pop in again when I'm in the neighborhood for lunch so I can try even more! ”
“ Lots of gluten free options baked/cooked up fresh. Lots of meal options to take and bake at home which is great for busy families. Amazing baked goods - had the GF pecan pie for Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit with everyone - delicious food! ”
“ Great little spot for quick and healthy bite! I had what they call "the starter" a more traditional breakfast, however they have all your specialty coffees and flavors all the way to a few smoothies. Then for the afternoon crowd they have lunch and I believe dinner. ”
“ Friendly and helpful barista. Delicious breakfast sandwich with well seasoned fried potatoes! Very cute interior. ”
“ This very well may be my new go to breakfast place. The coffee was great and my acai bowl was amazing! Highly recommended! ”
“ The cranberry goat cheese salad was absolutely delicious! The quinoa bowl with Brussel sprouts too was one of the best I have ever tried it was made so well. Literally everything I have tried here is amazing including the cucumber pineapple coconut drink, the blueberry ginger iced tea, the orange drink as well. The desserts are heavenly, the seven layer bar the chocolate ganache brownie. Honestly you will not be disappointed everything is fresh and the owner is very knowledgeable. Many different options are available too! ”
“ It’s a nice, cozy place with lots of coffee and food options. I like their broccoli-cheddar soup and prefer to have it with a side of warm focaccia bread. Friendly service and clean surroundings! Special mention for the kind lady who takes orders at the counter — she’s very sweet and friendly. ”
